Description: This presentation will provide information about what is typically done when compressive strength results are less than the design strength.
The presentation will cover:
- The reasons for the low strength
- How low strength is typically evaluated
- What resolutions have they experienced
Learning Objectives:
- Understand why compressive strengths may be lower than desired.
- Know what should be done once low strength is suspected.
- How to evaluate the low strength investigation data.
- Understand what can be done to resolve the low compressive strength issue
